I know she’s going to be in my son’s wedding, to which I am not invited.
My son caved to his pressure and has not had any contact with me in 20 years.
I moved across the country to be with her and her kids. I’m the good mom — the extra-good mom that did everything. Why is my daughter participating in their family events, while I’m the one babysitting her kids?You seem to be advice-shopping, and I assume your psychiatrist is recommending that you ask my opinion because your practice is to reject the advice you’ve been given and go on the hunt for a different answer.
You paint yourself as “the good mom” and your ex and son as “bad men,” and as long as you see the world in such absolutes, your daughter will be forced to behave this way. You should never expect a child to completely renounce a parent, because, for better or for worse, that parent is a part of them.
